DESCRIPTION:On the Heels of a Housing Justice Week of Action kicked off by Homeless 
 Mothers Reclaiming a Vacant Corporate Owned Property in West Oakland, Bay 
 Area Renters are Infuriated to See Hundreds of Luxury Homes Built While 
 Thousands Remain Homeless\n\nOAKLAND: Hundreds are set to join the “March 
 for Housing Now: Our City, Not Scarcity” to one of the many new luxury 
 vacant buildings in Oakland to denounce the overproduction of luxury units 
 over housing affordable to working families, to demand vacant units be 
 turned over to house families and to push for a strong public lands policy. 
 The march is the culminating end to a week of action, kicked off with Moms 
 4 Housing, a collective of homeless and marginally housed mothers, 
 reclaiming a vacant, corporate owned property on Monday. \n\nWhat: Hundreds 
 Will March to Demand Oakland Elected Officials House Families NOW!\n\nWhen: 
 Saturday, November 23rd, 12:00PM - 3:00PM\n\nWhere: Starting at Mosswood 
 Park, 3612 Webster St, Oakland, CA 94609\n\nWho: Homeless families and 
 people on the verge of eviction, low-income community residents and 
 workers. Members of: Moms 4 Housing, Alliance of Californians for Community 
 Empowerment (ACCE), Alameda Labor Council, Sunrise Movement Bay Area, East 
 Bay Housing Organizations (EBHO), East Bay Democratic Socialists of 
 America, Strike Debt Bay Area, Oakland Tenants Union, IFPTE Local 21, SEIU 
 Local 1021, and Youth Vs. Apocalypse\n\nIn Oakland, there are 4 vacant 
 units for every 1 homeless person. As the homeless crisis continues to grow 
 and rents continue to increase, buildings are being bought and sold every 
 day by private equity firms, and the majority of buildings in the 
 construction pipeline are market rate or luxury while the majority need is 
 for deeply affordable housing. \n\nThe Housing March will bring awareness 
 to the actions of big banks, real estate developers and investors in 
 fueling and benefiting from the severe housing crisis in Oakland and urge 
 elected leaders to pass a luxury vacancy tax be imposed on luxury vacant 
 units in Oakland, to pass a strong public lands policy and to immediately 
 use vacant units for housing.\n
